Urban Meyer Opens Up About Battling Depression At Florida To 'Real Sports'

Urban Meyer won big at Florida with two national titles, but the pressure he put on himself was costly. During the 2009 season in which the Gators were reigning champions, Meyer told Andrea Kremer of HBO's Real Sports that his weight dropped from 217 pounds to 180 pounds because of self-inflicted stress.

"And we're undefeated," Meyer says to underscore the point that winning wasn't translating into happiness.

Among the other notable quotes from Meyer in the segment:

-- "I'm taking two Ambiens, and I would drink a beer on top of it, just to get some sleep."
-- "Mentally I was broke."

The profile on Meyer is part of an episode that premieres Tuesday at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Here's a preview:
